Vegan Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

The best one bowl Vegan Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie that’s moist, gooey, chewy, gluten-free and flourless. This is a simple and easy one-bowl dessert recipe that you will make over and over again because it’s so quick and hassle-free.

I really fancied cookies recently but didn’t want the effort of making several cookies, flattening out the cookie dough, baking one batch after another etc- just wanted to do it all in one go to keep it nice and simple, because I’m lazy like that! Though if you prefer to make more, my almond flour cookies are pretty much like this one but without the skillet.

What I love about this recipe

It’s a skillet cookie with no egg and dairy-free too of course. Usually cast iron skillet chocolate chip cookies contain egg whereas this one is a completely plant-based recipe and contains plant-based protein, an added bonus!

It’s super easy because there’s no rolling, no cookie dough ball-shaping or scooping, no waiting around for a batch to be baked so you can add the next one and you can just spoon it out directly from the pan.

Crisp edges and cracked top, gooey centre with melty chocolate chips and sheer decadence throughout.

Vegan Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie Substitutions

• Almond flour can be subbed with coconut flour in a 50/50 mix. Oat flour can also be used, but should be in combination with another flour to retain a moist, chewy texture. If you are not gluten-free then other flours such as wheat can also be used instead.
• Chocolate chips can be omitted if you prefer without or replaced with dried fruit, nuts or coconut chips.
• Replace the rapeseed oil with any other oil, preferably a flavourless one.
• Use peanut butter instead of the oil. Or any nut butter can be used instead of peanut butter.
